Italic and Emphasis
Just like bold, another very common semantic alteration is the use of italicized text. Text can be marked up as italicized with the use of the italic element, <i>...</i>.
As with bold/strong, italicized text does not necessarily imply semantically different meaning. Instead, you are encouraged to use the “emphasis” element instead ( <em>...</em> ). The emphasis element indicates subtle changes in the meaning of a sentence. By default the browser will show these elements in italic.
